I have changed optometry offices over the last several years because I have not been satisfied with…read moreany of them. That all changed today. A few weeks ago, I called to schedule an appointment. I was told I should complete the patient form online and bring it to my appointment. This morning, on the day of my appointment, I received a text message an hour before my appointment instructing me to wait in my car when I arrived and to call the office. Erika answered my call and said I could come in and to knock when I was at the office. She brought me back to do the initial intake and and the pre-exam tests. I have major anxiety when it comes to the air puff test for glaucoma. She was patient as I had a hard time keeping my eyes open as I always blink like crazy. I asked if it was ok if I lifted my lids to keep them open. That seemed to work. At one point, I actually let out a faint scream because I was startled. Once we were done with the pre-exam she brought me to a room to wait for Dr. Vicky Wong. Dr. Wong was very thorough in explaining what she was doing during the exam, the test results, and with her recommendation since I mentioned that my eyes have been irritated and dry. She suggested that I look away from my monitor during the workday every 30 minutes and to blink. She also gave me a prescription for Xiidra eye drops to use for six months which should help to produce real tears. I was offered a sample and discount card. Note: Allied Pharmacy is conveniently located on the same floor of the building. I had to schedule another appointment to come back to have my pupils dilated to finish the eye exam as I wouldn't be able to see very well for two hours afterwards and I had to go into the office today. When we were done, Kim Barnhouse, the Office Manager, assisted with the payment and scheduling my next appointment. When I got home, I noticed that my state of residency on my receipt and prescription reflected MA and not MD, so I immediately called the office and Kim corrected them both, had the prescription encrypted, and emailed both files to me. If I had any issues with receiving them, she offered to fax or mail them. Sharon Pollack assisted with adjusting a pair of sunglasses I have as the frame had gotten loose. She suggested if I leave them in the car that I shouldn't because they can get warped. She said I could come back any time to have them tightened. I can't say enough good things about the staff in the office. They are an all-star team and the epitome of customer service. I have never experienced this level of service before from ALL the office staff. Everyone is professional, personable, and helpful. I am certainly going to recommend them to anyone who asks. This will be my long-term optometry office from this point forward.

Vicky is great but the other crew from the front desk to sales are cold and unwelcoming. Got the…read moresame vibe as myEye dr where they just want to give you an eye exam and then sell you glasses for a profit. The optional retinal exam is posed not something voluntary and the choice to buy eye glasses are basically forced on you. I made it clear several times I wanted my prescription sent to me and they assured me it would be sent. Sales person had 0 intention of ever getting it sent to me electronically. Beware

I'm not sure if people still use Yelp, but I'm writing this review in case someone who's…read moreconsidering LASIK finds it. I saw Dr. Rubinfeld in October 2021 under the recommendation of my longtime optician. Dr. Rubinfeld previously performed LASIK on my brother, and while I know that shouldn't have been the only thing I went on, I'd be lying if I said it didn't make my decision easier. After a referral, I saw Dr. Rubinfeld twice -- once for a consultation at his Fairfax location, and another for the actual surgery at his Rockville location. (Note: The Rockville location is inside TLC Laser Eye Surgery, but I don't know if they're affiliated.) The first visit was simple. Dr. Rubinfeld is very personable and errs on the side of caution regarding eligibility. If he has any doubts, he'll tell you. I found his integrity to be a very good sign. On the day of my surgery, I spent a few hours doing paperwork and just waiting, but the surgery itself was quick and almost painless. Yes, it felt uncomfortable, but it wasn't anything to write home about. Dr. Rubinfeld and his team also made sure I was at ease before, during, and after the procedure. Recovery is never the same for two people, but they gave me goggles, drops, and instructions. (As bonus goodies, they even gave me a complimentary pen and shot glass!) After getting home and going right back to bed, I found I could interact with the world again the next day. I had red spots on my eyes -- subconjunctival hemorrhages -- for the next week or two, but they weren't too noticeable if you were more than a few feet away. It's now March 2022, so my eyes are technically still healing, but I officially have 20/20 vision and couldn't be happier. It isn't hyperbole when I say the procedure has been life-changing!

I recently had crosslinking + CK surgery done with Dr. Rubinfeld. Even though it's only been a week…read moreafter my surgery, I'm writing this review because I already see a dramatic improvement in my vision; I had one bad eye that had significant vision loss , and now it's much better. The staff was also very accommodating and professional. So, I highly recommend Re:Vision if you're considering treatment from them. It was great.

No one came to tell me what was happening or why I needed to wait for that long. No one came to apologize or tell me if the doctor would be in to see me soon. NOTHING. NADA.

I have been a patient of Dr. Gross and Dr. Nicholas for almost 10 years now and have nothing but…read morethe highest regard for both of them. I give them top scores on their thoroughness, patience and knowledge. However, the incompetence of their office staff as of summer/fall 2025 has forced me to search for a new ophthalmologist. Appointments made have been cancelled without a call. Appointments I never made have been marked as missed. Numerous screwups with scheduling without accountability. Staff rarely answers the phone direct, are often rude and will not return a message. This is all the more frustrating when it takes months to get a new appointment. I've left numerous messages now with the office "manager" without a single call back. Honestly, I doubt the doctors know how bad their staff is treating people and how often they drop balls. How would they? There's no way to contact them directly. Maybe that's the issue. Some docs have private voicemail. They do not.

Dr. Chu is an outstanding doctor! I've been going to eye doctors for more than 60 years, and Dr…read more Chu is the very best. I chose him because my sister (a nurse) has been going for years, and recommended him highly; and because of his professional expertise. From the moment I met Dr. Chu, I was so impressed. Everything about the entire experience was truly professional and first-class, including Dr. Chu's staff and state-of-the-art equipment. Dr. Chu's expertise and experience speak for themselves - he's brilliant and skilled, yet kind and even humble. He educated me about cataracts, and later performed cataract surgery on each eye. All easy & seamless. Dr. Chu not only restored my vision - it is better than it has ever been! I am overjoyed and grateful every day - I recommend Dr. Chu whole-heartedly~

I have been seeing Dr Chu for many years. At one point I felt he was pushing the laser cataract…read moresurgery even though the knife is just as accurate, but the laser costs over $3000 out of pocket. So I went to another eye doc, who was a crook. Suddenly I was developing a new eye disease every time I went for a check up. Went back to Chu, only to find out I did not have any of those eye diseases. So, back to Chu, who over time has become very short tempered, impatient and rude. He did my cataract surgery, which went fine. But if I have more than one or two questions he becomes very disagreeable. My distance vision since cataracts has NOT been corrected by glasses using his prescriptions. Last he told me there was nothing he could do and walked out of the room. If there is a vision issue, the doctor should want to find the problem and correct it. He did not. So, no more Dr Chu. Whenever I had an appointment I did not look forward to his moodiness. It has gotten worse over the years and many of his staff acknowledge this.

My daughter went to see Dr. Allen to get her eyes checked before heading back to college, as she felt her vision had worsened over the school year. In the span of a 30 minute appointment, Dr. Allen recognized that there was something more at play and referred my daughter to a neurologist, as Dr. Allen believed, there was a growth behind my daughter's eye. Dr. Allen was correct, a tumor the size of a pea was found behind my daughters eye. Additionally, another handful of problems were found that could have gone undetected for years if it were not for Dr. Allen's referral. Full disclosure, Dr. Allen is also my doctor, it is why I sent my daughter, because I have found her to be professional, informative, friendly, and funny. I do not have the words to express how grateful I am to Dr. Alain for her thoughtful and comprehensive care for both my daughter and myself. Go see Dr. Allen, she is phenomenal!

The staff is the biggest joke I have ever encountered…read more FIRST They provided me with the wrong appointment time. Told me 2 pm and when I arrived said it wasn't until 2:45. SECOND I sat and waited until my 2:45 time because I didn't want to reschedule, but I didn't get seen until 3:30. What is the point of making an appointment when you don't even get seen for 45 minutes? THIRD the nurse was rude to me and got mad at me for not bringing in my contact lenses when I was never told to bring them in. And LAST the front desk girl is rude as well. Has a bad attitude that needs to leave her personal issues at home. And then I got an email 2 days late saying I missed my appointment?? What the heck are they running over there?

I made a last minute appointment and waited about an hour. I couldn't be too upset though since I was new and they did their best to fit me in. The followup was more-so on time. Could the front desk stand to be more professional and perhaps put away the candy crush app on her phone and be a bit more in tune with the practice? Yes! But, that shouldn't be a reflection on Dr Yeh's services. Good help is hard to find. Just my two cents. I'd recommend his practice based on the service. Also great he was conveniently located and accepted my insurance. The office is also really nice and well kept. Hope that helps with your decision on the practice. I don't think the 1-stars are a proper representation of his practice overall.

I've been using this place for several years. All the employees and the doctor are professional…read moreand capable. There is one employee that I feel deserves mention by name and that is Anne. I travel for work and she has been able to assist me over and over again with time sensitive situations.

She made no promises but called me this afternoon as I was leaving for the airport and had my repaired glasses ready to go. If this was the only time she has been so excellent I wouldn't bother writing but this is just one of several examples where she has proven to be the most helpful employee that I have ever met. She deserves to have her salary doubled.

He mocked me for asking about the sequence of events to get my glasses. He claimed my pupillary distance was 26. When I asked in what unit he had no idea what a "unit" was. I asked in mm? He said yes 26 mm and then said "we're know what we're doing we've been doing this for years". My distance is actually 55mm. For the price they charge they have no idea how to provide quality customer service. Rude, unintelligent, unprofessional In response to the owner: Your whole reply is off topic and half is inaccurate. Nothing justifies his mocking both me and the previous client (after they left). As a grown man your salesperson needs to be in control of his emotions.
